by responding to such expressions by using them appropriately.

ASSESSMENT

literary terms listed on the board or power point slide.

B.Formative—Progress
Monitoring—Students must check with the teacher to have the shortened
definition of their assigned literary term approved.

throughout the school year to check their learning.

About Me

I am in the process of becoming an English teacher at CSUSM. I enjoy reading, writing, and cooking. Cooking is how I de-stress! I also play a few video games and love reading historical fiction, science fiction, and fiction in general.
